yes it does this is just a virus that
lives in the skin the reason why it
will stick around is because of where
it is located the immune system takes
awhile to catch it and kill it so just
boost your immune sytem and kick this
viruses ass

You cannot get ride of the virus; but
you can elimate the wart it self. The
virus Does Not go anywhere, no matter
how many treatments you administer

To continue with the above statement
and to answer the question, the virus
works like a cold sore virus. A cold
sore will go away but once you have
one, you will always have the virus
that causes them to appear. It can re-
appear two months or up to five years
after the initial occurance

The above poster is wrong. HPV
behaves more like the chicken pox
rather than herpes. Your body will
have an outbreak that will be
supressed or in some cases
eliminated. Like the chicken pox,
your immune system will supress it to
the point it is no longer a problem.
It may come back (like shingles with
cp) but it does not set up permanent
latency like herpes (and yes, I know
Chicken Pox is a form of herpes, you
know what I mean)

12/8/2004 7:04:09 PM - same as above
For that matter though any time your
body comes down with a cold or the
flu, technically (or theoretically)
the virus remains with your 'for life'
and there is 'no cure'. This is true
of all viruses. Your immune system
just figures out how to beat them and
takes them out of commission.

i am glad you understand that cold
sores and chicken pox and shingles are
all caused by herpes, but i dont
understand why you would say that they
are different. the poster is correct
in that hpv can always come back and
that the virus is never totally gone
from your system. if your immune
system is lowered for any reason, you
could have an outbreak of hpv, even if
you havent had one in 10 yrs.

12/13/2004 11:50:14 PM -
you could or you might not? no one knows

what about regular old hand warts? I
had them when I was 10 or so, they went
away and I have never had a wart since -
they are a virus, why when have they
reoccured?

12/14/2004 2:16:05 AM - l
you develop an immunity to regular warts
- but it is short lived so you can get
them again. I wonder if common warts
are in the same layer of skin?

12/14/2004 9:15:47 AM -
yes...the epidermas...it is five
layers thick takes 30 days to
regenerate i think...one reason I
think over time you will
clear...because if the hpv infected
cells don't replicate fast enough they
will get pushed to the outer epidermas
and die off

there is a good animation of this at

I'm sure you've seen this - but it might
help

12/20/2004 12:10:06 PM -
The only difference between a hand
wart and a genital wart is where it
is. Your hands warts that went away
are exactly the same as your genital
warts, which will go away and most
likely never come back. What can be
said about GWs can be said for hand
warts also, but we don't seem to mind
it if its on our hand. Seems to be a
pretty absurd double standard. A wart
is wart, and no matter where it is it
is not a big deal. Just a temporary
skin bump people.

12/21/2004 6:18:34 AM -
uhh, no they arent exactly the same.
they ARE both hpv, but they are
different strains, and warts from hand
cant be transferred to genitals and
vise versa. your blanket statement is
not entirely accurate.

12/21/2004 8:04:17 AM -
No, because if you read my post you'll
notice that I never said that hand
warts and genital warts were cross
transferable (even though my
dermatologist said its possible, but
hey, you've done more research than
him I'm sure so fuck what he and his
25 years of experience). Explain to
me, besides the strain, how a hand
wart and genital wart are any
different and I'll give you cookie.

12/21/2004 6:41:50 PM -
i'm sorry, i guess i misunderstood your
post my bad. i thought you were telling
ppl they are the same thing, while they
are both warts and common or hand warts
can grow in the genital area but are
not considered genital warts. gw
require a moist environment to grow,
whereas common warts usu require the
opposite to thrive. so can i have a
cookie anyways? =) j/k
